IRS tax lien help. Get it out of your way.

A federal tax lien can stall a home sale, block a refinance, or follow you around in public records. Depending on your situation, it can often be released, withdrawn, or moved aside. We figure out which and handle it.

How we fix it

  1. 1

    We review the lien

    We confirm the balance behind it, the deadlines, and what you need, whether that's selling, refinancing or simply cleaning up your record.

    You: share the lien letter and what you're trying to do.

  2. 2

    We pick the right route

    Release, withdrawal, discharge or subordination. Each one fits a different situation, and some depend on resolving the balance first.

    You: e-sign the authorization form.

  3. 3

    We apply and follow up

    We prepare the IRS forms, work with your title company or lender if needed, and follow through until it's done.

    You: get on with your sale or refinance.

Ways to deal with a lien

ReleaseEnds the lien once the balance is paid or can no longer be collected. The IRS generally must release it within 30 days of payment.
WithdrawalRemoves the public notice, as if it was never filed. Possible in some cases, such as after setting up a qualifying direct-debit payment plan.
DischargeRemoves the lien from one specific property, so you can sell it.
SubordinationLets a lender go ahead of the IRS, which can make a refinance possible.

What it costs

  • The consultation is free, with no obligation.
  • One flat fee, agreed in writing before any paid work starts.
  • No surprise invoices, and you never pay the IRS through us.

Which options are available depends on your balance and situation, and the IRS makes the final decision. We'll tell you what's realistic first.

Common questions

Does a tax lien hurt my credit score?

The major credit bureaus no longer include tax liens on credit reports. But liens are public records, and lenders, title companies and landlords can still find them.

What's the difference between a release and a withdrawal?

A release ends the lien but the public record shows it existed. A withdrawal removes the public notice entirely, which is better for your record.

I just got a lien letter. Is there a deadline?

Yes. The lien notice letter usually gives you 30 days to request a hearing about the lien. Contact us quickly so that option stays open.
